There is so much to do here, as with every country we visit...no wonder most of our fellow cruisers leave there boats here during season, and go home during hurricane season. You cannot properly nor thoroughly check out and visit these wonderlands in a few days or weeks even.

We pulled up the anchor in the industrial zone of Pointe a' Pitre, can we say a mucky, globby, nasty mess! Thank goodness for the saltwater wash down on the foredeck!

Check out this place...no other boat except for Morea, a friend we met in the Saintes...and a lot of mosquitos! After the cruise ships, cargo ships, fishing fleets, local perogue traffic, calm is to active a word for this peaceful place!

We will be up at 3:45a to have Altair ready for bridge #1. If they don't see a boat with running lights circling the entrance to the River Salee, they go back home to bed. We were gonna be ready!

Vessel Name: Altair
Vessel Make/Model: Tartan 34'
Hailing Port: Coconut Grove Sailing Club
Crew: Dudley Clark and Becky Butler
About: Dudley has owned this Tartan sloop and has been cruising on her since 1986. Becky joined the good sloop back in 2000 when we first started cruising together and he has been 'training' me ever since! I couldn't be happier! I've been sailing all my life, but cruising is a whole different fish!
Extra: This is the most extended cruise we've braved on this wonderful, old boat of ours which is planned to be about 2 years! We left Miami in late February of 2008 and want to get below the hurricane belt by the end of July! Ok, so it's July, 2011...we're close, but not home yet!
